Wastelands

Wastelands
Originally uploaded by flickr photographerno1

Man on all fours
Cringing
Crawling
Trying to break out
Spiritually stake out
A no mans land
Moving mankind
Won’t give him a hand
Tongueless tasteless bland
The golden spoon
Soured supply
Diminishing demand
Only sorrow today
Tomorrow more sorrow
At his beck and command
The rich get super rich
Their lives well scripted preplanned
the poor man s destiny written on water
a polythene plastic bag of a poem
suffocating the
mangroves of a human wasteland
